When I reply to a message, its subject gets inserted into my buffer with "Re': " attached.  For example, replying to the following message':'
Date':  8 MAR 84 20':10 PST'
From': MASINTER.PA'
Subject': batteries'
To':   wallace'
'
Produces the following header':'
'
Subject': Re': batteries'
To': MASINTER.PA'
'
Which isn''t what I want.  You don''t need the "Re':" to tell it''s a reply, since there''s already an In-Reply-to': field.'

True, but the In-Reply-To': field is not evident in the table of contents.'
'
Are you really offended by the "Re':"?  Considering that the Answer commands of all the other mail systems I am familiar with (Laurel, Hardy, MSG, MM) insert a "Re':" in their reply subjects, there must be a few people who like it.'
